Abstract

This study investigated the contribution of bibliotherapy to the counseling of aggressive boys by novice counselors in Israel. Counseling for all children was provided within an integrative model (Hill, 2005); bibliotherapy was added as adjunct to the counseling process only in 1 group. Boys from 24 classrooms (3 per class) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: integrative counseling (IC), integrative counseling plus bibliotherapy (ICB), or no counseling. Results of the comparison among the 3 conditions indicated reduced aggression and increased empathy in both IC and ICB conditions compared with the control condition. A difference between IC and ICB conditions was found for empathy and therapist satisfaction, with higher gains in ICB. In the ICB condition, boys also demonstrated higher stages of change (Prochaska, 1999) and had higher frequencies of insight and therapeutic change (Hill, 2005) compared with boys in the IC condition. Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag von Bibliotherapie zur Beratung von aggressiven Jungen Diese Studie untersuchte den Beitrag von Bibliotherapie zur Beratung von aggressiven Jungen durch Beratungsanfänger in Israel. Die Beratung aller Kinder wurde innerhalb der Anwendung eines integrativen Models (Hill, 2005) gegeben. Die Bibliotherapie wurde zusätzlich zum Beratungsprozess nur bei der Gruppe 1 angewendet. Jungen von 24 Klassen (3 aus jeder Klasse) wurden dem Zufall nach einer von drei Bedingungen zugewiesen: Integrative Beratungen (integrative counseling [IC]), integrative Beratungen plus Bibliotherapie (ICB), oder keine Beratung. Die Ergebnisse zum Vergleich zwischen den drei Bedingungen wiesen einen Rückgang der Aggressionen und einen Anstieg von Empathie unter der IC und der ICB Bedingung im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe auf. Ein Unterschied zwischen der IC und der ICB Bedingung wurde für Empathie und Therapeutenzufriedenheit gefunden, mit größeren Anstiegswerten für ICB. Unter der ICB Bedingung zeigten die Jungen auch höhere Veränderungsniveaus (Prochaska, 1999). Im Vergleich zu den Jungen unter der IC Bedingung zeigten sie häufiger Einsicht und therapeutische Veränderung (Hill, 2005). Résumé La contribution de la bibliothérapie dans le counseling de garçons agressifs Cette étude a investigué la contribution de la bibliothérapie dans le counseling de garçons agressifs par des conseillers novices en Israël. Le counseling pour tous les enfants était procuré dans le cadre d'un modèle intégratif (Hill, 2005) ; la bibliothérapie était rajoutée comme un supplément au processus de counseling dans un seul groupe. Des garçons de 24 classes (3 par classe) étaient attribués au hasard à 1 de 3 conditions : counseling intégratif (CI), counseling intégratif plus bibliothérapie (CIB), pas de counseling. Les résultats comparatifs entre les 3 conditions montrent une agression diminuée et une empathie augmentée dans les conditions CI et CIB par rapport à la condition contrôle. Une différence entre CI et CIB se trouvait pour l'empathie et la satisfaction des thérapeutes, avec des gains supérieurs en CIB. Dans la condition CIB,les garçons montraient aussi des niveaux supérieurs de changement (Prochaska, 1999) et ils avaient plus d'insight et de changement thérapeutique (Hill, 2005) en comparaison avec les garçons de la condition CI.. Resumen Contribución de la biblioterapia al counseling de jóvenes agresivos Este estudio investigó la contribución de la biblioterapia al counseling de chicos agresivos realizado por consultores novicios en Israel. Se suministró counseling a todos los chicos dentro de un modelo integrativo (Hill, 2005), y se agregó biblioterapia al proceso en un grupo. En 24 aulas, tres chicos por aula se asignaron al azar a 1 de 3 condiciones: counseling integrativo (IC), counseling integrativo más biblioterapia (ICB) o ningún counseling. Los resultados de la comparación entre las tres condiciones fueron: agresión reducida y aumento de empatía tanto en la IC como en la ICB comparadas con la condición control. Se encontró una diferencia entre la IC y la ICB para la empatía y la satisfacción del terapeuta, con mayores mejorías en la ICB. En esta, los chicos demostraron también niveles mayores de cambio (Prochaska, 1999), mayores frecuencias de insight y de cambio terapéutico (Hill, 2005) en comparación con chicos de la condición IC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
